*This tactic is suitable for those who wish to partway from the high tempo - high intensity meta. It only works with top clubs like Man City, Liverpool, United, etc. I took a direct inspiration from Pep's work at Man City when creating this tactic.
*What's guaranteed:
- Dominating Possession (consistent top 1 in possession when using City)
- Scoring high volumes of goals (Over 120 goals a season - ofc it also varies with who you have as your AF)
- Man City's common shapes:
+ 2-3-5 attacking shape
+ 4-1-4-1 or 4-5-1 defensive shape
- Pretty passing maps (check it out yourselves)
Characteristics:
- High-line pressing
- Organized attacks
*Notices
- Your AF (number 9) is the main scoring threat and thus a focus in your scouting and transfers
- The 2 most vital positions are the single pivot (DM) and the fullbacks (IWB). IWBs would need special attention during transfers and training.
*Set pieces:
- You can use your own, mine simply deploys the well-known near post attack corners.
